Book Description
The analysis of sound propagating by multiple paths in an ocean at short ranges has been conducted using a Modified Time Delay Spectrometry (TDS) technique. In this version of TDS, a source driven by a linear FM slide and an HP3561A Dynamic Signal Analyzer are used to measure the amplitude as a function of frequency of signals traveling by different paths and having different arrival times. Two sets of data from the acoustic test ranges at the Naval Undersea Weapons Engineering Station were analyzed for different environment conditions to determine the relative amplitudes of the directly propagating and surface reflected signals. Comparisons with simple rough surface scattering theory showed reasonable agreement. Results and control software are presented and discussed. Recommendations for future applications are made. Keywords: Multipath acoustic propagation; Time delay spectrometry; Surface reflection; Theses.

Book Description
A measurement technique has been developed which makes possible the determination of the acoustic transmission loss for various paths between a source and a receiver at relatively short ranges in the ocean. The method is based upon a technique called Time Delay Spectrometry (TDS). The theory for utilizing TDS to perform measurements on an underwater test range with a homogeneous water column is presented. The experimental parameters concerning test geometry together with criteria for the source signal are discussed and the limitations are described. A computer program written in HP BASIC is the tool in a multipath measurement system where analog sound signals recorded on tape are processed by an HP 356A Dynamic Signal Analyzer under program control. Originator-supplied keywords include: Time Delay Spectrometry (TDS), Under water acoustic propagation, Dynamic signal analyzer, Linear frequency modified pulse (LFM pulse).

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: Wade H. Shafer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461305993
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 32 (thesis year 1987) a total of 12,483 theses titles from 22 Canadian and 176 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 32 reports theses submitted in 1987, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

TIme Delay Estimation for Underwater Signals and Application of Localization
Author: Stefanos D. Kouteas
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781423527688
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The problem of time difference of arrival (TDOA) is important in underwater acoustics for both passive and active sonar. Classical approaches to this problem are based on generalized cross-correlation (GCC) methods implemented in the frequency domain. After appropriate weighting of the cross spectral data in the frequency domain, an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) is performed and the peak of the resulting GCC function is located in the time domain. This thesis shows that the cross-spectrum of the data satisfies an appropriate signal subspace model; therefore the IDFT can be replaced with a signal subspace technique such as MUSIC. The result is an enhanced ability to locate the peak. Further, application of methods such as root-MUSIC or ESPRIT produce direct numerical estimates for TDOA without the need to search for a peak. Results are presented for an extensive set of simulations using both synthetic signal data and data from a ocean acoustic propagation model (MMPE). Results are further presented for an application of the new method to target localization and tracking. In all cases results are compared using both the new methods and the classical methods.

Modeling of Sound Propagation in the Sea
Author: A. N. Barkhatov
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9781468415810
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The book is concerned with the application of modeling techniques and procedures to the investigation of sound propagation in the sea. The modeling method affords a means for studying the laws governing the sound fields in the sea and in other, similar media under controlled laboratory conditions and can be used in underwater acoustics as a coroHary to field experiments. The method has a number of advantages, principal of which are the relative simplicity and low cost of model tests by com parison with fuH-scale tests under oceanic conditions, the high accuracy of acoustical mea surements, excellent reproducibility of the measurement results, and the capability of rapidly varying the experimental conditions, which, unlike the conditions of field experiments, are under complete control. For the modeling of sound propagation in the sea the latter is treated, depending on the problem to be solved, either as a volume-homogeneous medium or as a medium possessing regular and randomly-distributed inhomogeneities. We direct our primary attention in the book to the modeling of layered-inhomogeneous media, but we also discuss separate problems bearing on the study of sound propagation in the sea. It is demonstrated in examples how modeling is employed to investigate the sound field in the ocean for certain typical vertical distributions of the velocity of sound in the ocean.
